# Parameters

Description of tag parameters is shown below.&#x20;

* **Name:** is used for naming the data represented by the tag.
* **Device:** identifies the device the tag is associated with.
* **Address:** identifies the data area, as well as defines data type and dimension, and can affect the access rights. Address format depends on the specified device.
* **Update Rate:** determines how frequently a tag is updated (in milliseconds). The 0 value indicates that the tag must not be updated (but it will be available for writing).
* **Access:** defines the access rights provided to the client (Read/Write or Read Only). Access rights can also depend on the specified address, for example: Internal Modbus registers always have read-only access rights. How to specify the read and write access rights of a tag for a specific user is described below.
* **Converter:** specifies conversion applied to tag value. The following conversions are available: division by a specified number, linear scaling, logical “NOT” (available only for the boolean data type).
* **Comment:** contains any custom text.
* **Change Trigger**: specifies change notification mode.

Most of the parameters described above are available as OPC UA items. More information about editing server object properties via OPC UA is described [<mark style="color:blue;">here</mark>](https://docs.monokot.io/basics/opc-ua/access-to-object-settings).
